Project Trip: Murchison Falls

Ok, so this is my last post about the project trip. I promise. It’s just that nothing very interesting has happened back in Kampala so but there is so much to share about the trip.

On our way back to Kampala, the eMi team stopped off at Murchison Falls, a game preserve in central Uganda. We just stayed one night instead of the typical three day safari. While we were there, we got to go on an evening game drive, a morning boat ride up the Nile, and then we climbed a gorgeous waterfall. That’s all I have to say about it because words will not give justice to its beauty. Here are some photos…

It was really cool to sit outside on top of the van. The views of the animals were so amazing from up there.

Looking down on the rest of the team inside the van.

I forget the name of this thing. They weren’t called antelope. We just called them African deer.

Apart from the "African deer", giraffes were probably the most common animal we saw.

There were so many hippos along the Nile during our boat ride.

“BEWARE OF THE CROCODILES!” This was an encouraging sign that met as we started our hike up the waterfall.

Looking at the Nile going the other direction.

The river actually split into two falls before joining back together. The views were amazing from the top!

Look at those three studly men climbing waterfalls in Africa.
